You never forget your first

When I got an iPod, the first podcast I subscribed to was The Strip. Other podcasts have come and gone from my iTunes subscriptions, but this one is rock solid. Steve and Miles are the real deal -- insiders in the Las Vegas entertainment scene. These guys regularly score interviews with major celebrities and moguls, giving us listeners a peek into what makes Las Vegas tick. Add the trivia contest, the Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week, and just enough personal info to make us feel like we know these guys, and you've got the best Las Vegas podcast available.

Not just a great podcast, a great show - period.

This isn't just great for a podcast (which isn't saying alot given the number of truly crappy podcasts out there), it's a serious, professional, high-quality news and interview show - period. In my mind, Steve's high-caliber interviews rank The Strip up there with the best interview shows on radio, such as Terry Gross and Diane Rehm, and easily outshine the quality of "interview" on shows like Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood. Steve gives you the raw, largely uncut interview audio, and never flinches from asking the tough questions. It's almost not fair to put this show in the same category as the homemade podcasts with which it competes (and there are some good ones, Five Hundy By Midnight comes to mind), because both Steve and Miles are professional journalists and their production quality is top-notch. They've broken their share of news, being the first online outlets to break stories about various noteworth happenings in Vegas business and entertainment. Finally, their insider's view of life and business in Las Vegas make this podcast a "must listen" for anybody who knows and loves Sin City.
